I too am very hard on myself when it comes to my work. I am fortunate to have a very supportive husband and family that are gentle with their remarks. They always tell me that "only I know there are mistakes in the quilt." That being, I have learned a trick of hanging things high and adhearing them so that they can't be turned over for viewing. The result is that they only see what I want them to see. I still enjoy making quilts even if I never have the skill level that others do. I am learning to be at peace with my work and see it as folk art, which was never meant to be perfect but meant to be my unique creation. I am the artist, its my world and how I view it........
